"Can we take another break?" Grif asked with a yawn. 'We've been walking for ten hours now."
"We've only been walking for about ten minutes." Simmons coughed.
"Thanks Big Ben.' Grif chuckled before turning back to Delta. "Do you even know where we are going?"
"For now we will keep walking the path, listening for any signs of the other fragments." Delta said quietly.
"I don't mean to pull the Grif card, but I'm getting pretty tired of holding Gary..." Simmons muttered, beginning to grow tired of the spell.
"I could tell you a knock knock joke to pass the time." Gary said with a smile.
"No."
"Knock knock."
Simmons rolled his eyes and kept walking, making sure to stay focused on the spell.
"Knock knock." Gary repeated.
"Who's there?" Simmons sighed, knowing that Gary would keep repeating it until he answered.
"You are."
"You are who?"
"You are a dirty, dirty shisno." Gary said as he burst out with laughter.
"Very funny."
"Ah thought it was." Gary chuckled. "Wanna hear another?"
"I really would-"
"Glad to hear it." Gary interrupted quickly. "Knock knock."
"Who's there?" Simmons asked reluctantly.
"Gary."
"Gary who?"
"Gary isn't a dirty shisno like you."
"Oh, would you be quiet?" Simmons asked, growing more annoyed by the second. "Applejack is heavy."
"Don't disrespect AJ like that." Sarge said firmly.
"Sorry sir, I mean Gary is heavy."
"Why would ya say somethin' like that?" Gary asked sadly. "You'll hurt mah feelin's."
"Very well." Delta said, horn glowing faintly as he grabbed Gary from Simmons. "Now for the matter of finding Epsilon as well as the others."
A loud yell came from nearby, causing Grif and Caboose to jump in shock.
"What the hell was that?" Grif yelped.
"Was it the tooth fairy?" Caboose asked.
"I do not believe so." Delta said as he turned in the direction where the sound came from. "It sounded more like Omega."
"I guess that means we'll have to go in that direction, huh?" Grif sighed as Delta began walking to O'Malley. "Son of a bitch."
"Well you could always look at th' bright side." Gary said encouragingly as he floated behind Delta.
"Oh yeah, and what's the bright side?"
"There is no bright side."
"I could have told you that." Grif grunted.
"Stop whining Grif. You should be happy you're still alive at this point." Sarge laughed as he began to walk after Delta.
"I'm alive too!" Caboose said happily as he hopped after Delta.
Grif and Simmons shared a limp shrug before setting off after the others. After five minutes of walking Delta stopped moving and made a gesture to the others telling them to do the same.
"What's wrong green?" Sarge asked.
"It appears he was closer than I had thought." Delta said.
A small yell was heard, startling Grif and Caboose once again. Grif looked around a tree to see O'Malley strung up by his waist, hanging several feet off the ground.
"That's not a good sign." Grif coughed.
"No, it isn't." Delta said as he walked into the clearing to get a better look of O'Malley. "It seems that O'Malley triggered one of the traps."
"Really?" Grif asked, feigning surprise. "I would have never guessed."
"So what's the plan?" Sarge asked. "Are we going to leave him up there or are we going to bring him down?"
"I vote that we leave him up there." Grif said.
O'Malley looked down and began to focus on Grif, reaching down to grab him.
"Definitely. We definitely need to leave him up there."
"Ah, but where is the fun in that?" A voice chuckled, seemingly coming from every direction.
"Who said that?" Simmons asked.
"Ah don't suppose yer gunna help me get outta these shisno's hands, are ya Sigma?" Gary asked.
"How peculiar." Sigma said as he came out from behind a tree.
"So it was you that set up the traps in the forest. I had thought it was you but had ruled it out on account of you never seeing Church when I was with him. You must have seen him before I transported them away."
"Indeed." Sigma nodded as he began to walk in a circle around the reds. "I was hoping all of you would come here at once."
"Why?" Simmons asked.
"It would have been more interesting that way. No matter, I will see you all at a later time. For now I must check on Epsilon and make sure he has followed my path like you have."
"What path?" Grif asked.
"You don't think you came to this location of your own free will, did you?"
"What does he mean by that?"
"That I am not at liberty to answer, so I will bid you farewell." Sigma said as he took a bow.
"Grab him!" Sarge snapped as he lunged towards Sigma.
Sigma smiled and stepped on a vine, causing a net to fall onto Sarge as well as causing separate, larger net to fall on the others.
"I wish your actions weren't so obvious to predict." Sigma said quietly as he disappeared behind a tree.
"Well that guy was an asshole." Grif muttered as he attempted to find his way out of the net. After a few seconds he gave up and laid on his back. "Well, I guess since we're trapped under this net we'll just have to wait for the others."
"No breaks." Sarge grunted as he escaped his net. He quickly went to the others and pulled the net off of them. "Now what?"
"We consider our options." Delta said quietly, as he grabbed Gary with his magic again.
"Do any of those options let us stay here?" Grif asked as he wiped the grass and dirt off of his legs.
"Yes."
"Then I vote for that one."
"What are all the options?" Simmons asked.
"The first option is we stay here-"
"That one." Grif said quietly.
"-and we wait for the others to get here. Sigma has told us that he intended for us all to come here, so it is only natural to assume he will try to bring the others here as well. The second option is we try to find either Epsilon or the others before Sigma gets to them. The third option is we try to find Sigma and capture him before he leads the others here. The problem with that option is we won't know where the others are and it could take us hours, or even days, to find them."
"And we don't know where Sigma went either." Simmons said.
"All the more reason to stay here. We can just kick back since we know Sigma is going to bring the others here anyways." Grif said as he laid down on the grass.
"I can tell some knock knock-"
"Shut up Gary." Simmons sighed.
Yes Gary, shut up.
"What's wrong green?" Delta asked. You might want to fix this.
lol I can just imagine Gary's voice with a southern accent!
Man you work fast i just finshed reading it and then this showed up I wonder what apple jack is thinking right now
Your like a fricken' ninja! :P
Gary is like Andy and ol'Necky in the fact that no one likes him at all and his jokes are unfunny
"What's wrong green?" Delta asked."
Think you meant Sarge. Back to reading now :)
I'm a little cross with the story now...
Not really anything to do with the story, or the author, or anything to do with anything the author's doing.
Just that every time this updates (every day), it fills up a space on the featured section. And this happens for like a good two dozen stories, so 90% of what people see on the featured bar is stuff that's featured at least twice a week.
755398
Fixed that half an hour ago.
755410 Huh, weird. Must have loaded the tab earlier without realizing it I only had 2 comments on it when I scrolled down.
Anywho, good chapter. I get the feeling that staying there will only lead to bad things though.
oh god i want this to never end *looks at chapter count* 127...errrr looks it dosent have too!
awesume.
I read all 127 of these chapters in one day...and I don't regret it.
shut up Gary.
Fuckin' Gary...
Remember back when he wasn't annoying as hell??
Neither do I
755355 I loved Andy...
I'm going to be different.
I like Gary, you dirty shisnos...
How do you write the characters so well?!
755248 i still hear him in that very robotic voice, and that doesnt realy lend to an accent
756805 TRAITER! EVERYONE BEAT HIM
hmmm. Sarge defending AJ. i can guess where this is going *wink* *wink*
757282
I gotcha! *Exaggerated winking*
And IMO, Gary sounds hilarious with a southern accent in my head. Also, I found Andy, Gary and Ol' Necky to be rather funny, so keep your contrary opinions to yourself.
"Sigma smiled and stepped on a vine, causing a net to fall onto Sarge as well as causing separate, larger net to fall on the others the others."
Wait, what?
759194
He had anticipated their actions so he set up a trap that triggered a pair of nets to fall,one onto Sarge, and another net onto the others. Probably could have worded it better though.
759203 Nono ... Read the last words carefully...
759216
Ah, I see your point.
My bad.
Hey uh Dark. Seems like we're in the same predicament. Any idea what the hell those big mac heads next to chapters mean? It's all over my entire story. Scarin me shitless.
755212 he was calling him green in the same way he'd call church blue. Delta is green, didn't you know this?
755355
Those guys were hilarously unfunny, to the point that they were funny
760939 I did. The sentence is phrased in a way that makes it seem like Delta is talking to himself. The quote refers to him as Green, but it's listed as being said by Delta.
755204 noooo i like him
i hope The Meta was there to kick some ass or washington
OOH OOH OOOOOOH!!!! Have the Meta come and fight Celestia in a bonus chapter!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't Fluttershy will cry.
Here is a sample of what will come.
755204 i some what like Gary yet some what don't at the same time so hes on neutral ground with me.
okay put; gary, andy necro, pinkie, caboose, churche and delta in one room
filled with sugar, pigment, energy drinks, triple burned coffee beans...
andy and necro are biggest trollers
pysics breaking pinks and caboos drive delta to a breaking point
gary bugging alpha to killing him self
necto using his power to resurrect alpha again.
ect....
Its ok Gary I think ur funny!
"Ah, where's the fun in that?"
My first thought was "DISCORD?!"
Haven't heard from Celestia in a while, can't wait for her to notice Caboose is alive again
TOOTH FARIY NOOOOOOOOPPPEEEE
I was serious ly thinking simmons would have said 'f*** you gary'
760939 Why don't you look back at what it said and realize why you're an idiot.
I didn't know Delta calls Church 'blue'. I thought Sarge did that.
Gary, you need to get outta Applejack.
6266432 I, for one, like AJ better this way.
